I hope that storm around 240 hrs. trends better. You'd think it would with a high that strong.

Iif it trends anyway, would probably be towards an ice storm. That high is a little too west but anymore east and it would be ice, like the 18z gfs had.

At least right after that storm, the mega torch is now gone.

And there goes the torch on the gfs. Complete flip in the fantasy range of day 9-15.

That was an interesting run to watch in the later period -- 850mb temps only slightly below 0c, yet surface temps near freezing due to the 1030-40mb highs running around. As I said in a post before, if the intensity of those sfc highs in sern Canada come close to verifying, low level cold will be much more pronounced as we near the time frame.

To get a string of several days in the 50's and 60's in this area in mid January would be quite a feat from a climatological perspective...

NYC doesn't even hit 50, though keep in mind that the 06Z and 18Z runs in the long range include images at 18Z, when surface temps are near their peak, causing those runs to seem a bit warmer.

You cold always take a drive up to Saranac Lake which had a balmy high of 4 today and is sitting at 9 below. Its amazing how cold the Adirondacks are.

I was actually looking forward to the record torch (like others have said if its going to be mild it might as well be record breaking so you can get out and enjoy it.). Looks like we are in for really boring weather... Mild but not too mild and quite.

on the 00z ECM temperatures are as follows at 162 hrs..40-55 from the poconos to SE NY along the coast of SNE and South into MD and south..186 hrs they are in the 30s from NNY north and the 40s south at 210 the only area that is in the 30s is NW Maine ..the rest of the area is 40-60 from a NE to SW basis with the 60 readings into SW PA..at 234 temperatures in a small portion of Maine are 35-40 and then outside that area from the NE to SW are temperatures of 40-65 with the 65 reading in SW PA.. It appears that what is keeping these temperatures from out right baking the region at the surface is cloud cover and the storms that are going thru the region...so that could be the one saving grace from really torching at the surface but the moral of the story still remains the same as we are going to after the next transient shot of colder air go into a sustained period of above normal temperatures..

Nice signal on the Euro for a potential severe weather event in the South-Central US around the 24th of the month. Significant shortwave trough and relatively impressive moisture return. The 12z Euro had 60 F dew points as far north as Central OK/Central AR latitude with a sub 996mb surface low over the Central Plains ejecting eastward. Details are yet to be determined, but to see such a signal with 564dm thicknesses modeled well north of the Gulf Coast is certainly something that catches my eye in mid January. Winter season severe weather events can be incredibly complicated, and this is incredibly far away. But a decent signal nevertheless.

Those highs won't likely verify over SE Canada, with the PV in NW Canada.
